D.C. United has enjoyed a nostalgia-filled season at RFK as they end their two-decade run at home in the stadium. Those decades have been filled with triumph as the team emerged as one of the best in soccer, and fans can enjoy a look back at all the team has experienced at RFK during the upcoming Legends Weekend.

The mission of Clean Decisions is to provide those returning from time in the criminal justice system with the ability to work productively in a caring setting. This breaks negative cycles and helps employees build a path to personal achievement. In addition, Clean Decisions connects staff members with free counseling services and opportunities for community involvement.

For this month’s spotlight, we spoke with Will Avila, CEO, about Clean Decisions and the services they offer in and to the DC community.

We want to give a big shout-out to you for taking part in Events DC interviews and surveys this summer!

You told us what is important to you and what you want to see happen in your neighborhood. You let us know that email is a good way for us to communicate with you and to get the word out about what our team is working on with you. We found out that you like to share information at the local level.

As we continue to reimagine the current RFK Stadium-Armory Campus, you might be wondering what the area was like historically – a hundred years ago or more.

Let’s take a look back to 1860, which is when the foundation for later development quite literally started. That’s when mudflats, barren areas without vegetation, began developing along both banks of the Anacostia River to create the landforms we know – and walk on – today.

Miles and smiles. Bubbles and blow-ups. Running and, yes, even sitting.

If you ever needed proof that fitness and fun go together, just look to the recent events around RFK Stadium, which brought out thousands of your neighbors – we hope you were there to experience the excitement!

It’s been an exciting, action-filled month around the RFK Stadium-Armory Campus, and we’re happy to share a few sports-focused articles in this edition. Read on for a few of the great fitness events we’ve seen around the neighborhoods of RFK, as well as a profile of soccer at the stadium. But we also go back in time to investigate the history of the neighborhoods, as we continue to look to the future of RFK Stadium-Armory Campus redevelopment.

At Events DC, our goal is to keep you informed and interested in everything going on around the RFK Campus redevelopment effort. Events DC leadership will give presentations on the short-term redevelopment of the RFK Campus at the following Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) and community meetings. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend for the latest updates.
